Need your help. Thank you.

Dear all,

I have a couple of questions the content of invitations in the following sentence. Thank you for your help.

Original sentence:

Mr. and Mrs. William Chen request the pleasure of the company Mr. and Mrs. Susan Wang at the wedding ceremony....

Does this sentence above mean that Mr. and Mrs. William are pleased to invite Mr. and Mrs. Susan to their ceremony? How about "company". Does it mean "guest"? Last, how can I pronounce "R.S.V.P." in invitations? Just read it literally or pronounce it as one word.

Thank you for your answer.

Please note that "Mr. and Mrs. William Chen" are "Mr. and Mrs. Chen," not "Mr. and Mrs. William." "Mr. and Mrs. Susan ****" is not the usual form -- usually you would use the husband's name, not the wife's. ("Susan" is a woman's name.) So it would be "Mr. and Mrs. John ****," who could later be reffered to as "Mr. and Mrs. ****."
